Abstract
- The article examines the common theme of transvestism in the work of 20th century French author Jean Genet including the books "Notre-Dame-des-Fleurs" (Our Lady of the Flower), "Journal du voleur" (The Thief's Journal), and "Un Captif amoureux" (Prisoner of Love). Topics include his observation on the function of theater, his metaphor to describe the creation of the transvestite Divine in "Notre-Dame-des-Fleurs," and the types of transvestism.
